Episode Synopsis

God declared it's not good for man to be alone even before sin entered the world, which means we need community even more in our broken state. The giant sequoia trees illustrate this perfectly - they grow over 300 feet tall and live thousands of years not because of deep roots, but because their shallow roots interlock with other trees for mutual support. Similarly, we cannot grow spiritually deep while living disconnected from other believers. The early church in Acts 2 shared everything together - meals, possessions, prayers, and daily life - resulting in natural church growth. Biblical community means being known, needed, strengthened, and supported by others who can provide accountability and encouragement through life's storms.
